Summary
The Trouble is the Banks collects 150 letters that Americans (and one Canadian) wrote directly to executives and directors of five big, banks in fall 2011, at a time when protests were emerging in Occupy Wall Street camps across the United States. These writers speak as citizens to citizens, making an unprecendented portrait of ordinary Americans' experiences of the financial crisis since 2007. Here is the speech of the People, not any authority above them.
